Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hoy Por Hoy by Joan Sebastian from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dicen que traigo a la muerte
They say I bring death
En ancas de mi caballo
On my horse's haunches
Sólo le pido a la suerte
I only ask for luck
Que no me parta un mal rayo
Don't let a bad lightning strike me
Y he de morirme cantando
And I have to die singing
Como se muere un buen gallo
How a good rooster dies
Mientras que llega ese viaje
While that trip arrives
Ese viaje sin regreso
That journey without return
Voy a divertirme mucho
I'm going to have a lot of fun
Chaparrita dame un beso
Shorty, give me a kiss
Mientras tanto la gozamos
Meanwhile we enjoy it
Ya tendrás tiempo pa'l rezo
You will have time to pray
Y hoy por hoy que me siga la banda
And today let the band follow me
Y que toquen alegres canciones
And let them play happy songs
Yo aquí sigo vivito y coleando
I'm still alive and well here
Disfrutando mis pasiones
Enjoying my passions
Yo se que la muerte es calva
I know that death is bald
Y que nunca usó peluca
And he never wore a wig
No hay pa' cuando desgreñarla
There is no time to ruffle her hair
Se que un día vendrá esa ruca
I know that one day that ruca will come
Pero mientras no aparezca
But as long as it doesn't appear
Seguiré armando boruca
I will continue putting together boruca
Y hoy por hoy que me siga la banda
And today let the band follow me
Y que toquen alegres canciones
And let them play happy songs
Yo aquí sigo vivito y coleando
I'm still alive and well here
Disfrutando mis pasiones
Enjoying my passions
Hoy por hoy que me siga la banda
Today let the band follow me
Y que toquen alegres canciones
And let them play happy songs
Yo aquí sigo vivito y coleando
I'm still alive and well here
En mi mundo de ilusiones
In my world of illusions
